Are you a naturally empathetic, caring and compassionate Senior Support Worker in the UK with experience of caring for people with learning disabilities?

Do you want a fulfilling career, where you can make a difference and change lives for the better in a culture of kindness and teamwork? Where you’ll be supported with development opportunities to grow you as a person and in your career?

Join Felbrigg House in Dover as a Senior Support Worker and provide care for people with severe learning disabilities, Autism and behaviours may be seen as challenging; where you’ll support and encourage them to lead a full and valued life, enabling them to live more independently.

You’ll be great with people - a real ‘people person’, able to communicate effectively - explaining yourself clearly in the right tone to suit the situation and be really good at understanding others (behaviours and expressions, as well as vocal). Having a good sense of humour and resilience, and a willingness to help residents with their personal hygiene are also important.

Working alongside a multidisciplinary team, you will use your excellent communication skills and experience as a Senior Support Worker with a background in Learning Disabilities & Autism to provide care and support people through their care pathway.

It can be quite a challenging environment at times, so a positive attitude, compassion, resilience and vigilance are important. But it is hugely rewarding to see people improve because of you; being able to do something today that they couldn’t do last week.

You’ll work 37.5 hours per week, working 7.5 hours a day with shift patterns of 7am-2.30pm and 2.30pm-10pm, with weekends on a rota basis. Extra hours can be discussed if required.
